hope it dosent happen


Mart

hope not :(

can't see it ,hammond would probably get a lesser payed tv job ,but who would employ may

This story was doing the rounds 2-3 years ago.

James May is fantastic at presenting programmes, unfortunately Hammond is just JC's lap dog, i can't stand him to be honest

Top Gear has just become so massive that they'd be stupid not to throw their weight around a bit and follow JC's example of getting a better package.

The format is gold in that the audience is young/old, petrol-heads/people who aren't really interested in cars - it covers everyone. No doubt they'll sign up and the BBC will up their salaries significantly.

I couldn't agree more, JC's unfunny bitch, sadly I heard he was being lined up for BBC's F1 commentary team, please no, you wait all these years for it to be back on the beeb and then they go an ruin it with that annoying little ****, hopefully a misinformed rumour.

I'll miss May though, a good all round presenter and very witty.

Well if they'll need a replacement I will be more than happy to offer my services, in fact I will do it for free.:D

Hammond - wash your mouth out!

Agreed. JC does this every year to up his share and I'm quite sure May and Hammond are doing the same.

Its highly unlikely the BBC will want to risk losing one of the premier programs and lose the program they sell the most round the world just because the lads want more money?

Quite sure of further series with all 3.

James May was a quality journalist for many years before Top Gear put him on TV. His `England Made Me` columns in Car magazine a few years back were sublime.

Hammond is just a poster boy to attract females to TG, his background is in local radio FFS!

I like Hammond, I just don't get why there are some Hammond bashers out there. I find him entertaining, and love the banter between him and Clarkson. May adds nice balance, so it does need all three of them.

Hammond on F1 commentary could be amusing, lets hope he is not doing the techie bits. For general show presentation I think he could do a good job.

David Coulthard is being lined up for the techie bits when BBC get F1 back next year.

I like the sound of having DC to commentate. He is always good to listen to, shame he was never really an amazing driver (compared to the driving god elite).

Scripts do work well, even if the short one gets over excited. ;)

If you want to know how good James May is watch him on the big wine adventure with Oz Clarke - seriously good television.

May is an ale drinker and goes off with this poncy wine drinker (his words) to France to learn about wine...

Class fun all the way

Now that was good television.

seconded :D

To remove any one of the Holy Trinity would spell doom for Top Gear. They all play their part masterfully, and my two penneth is that May is vastly underrated.

All three of them are very good presenters in their own right. I think it all deteriorates when they get together but if Hammond and May did leave I think Clarkson and TG would be very much the losers.
